BATAVIA â The Genesee Orleans and Livingston-Wyoming Arc chapters may merge, Arc officials said Friday.
The announcement came following several months of meeting, negotiating, and work with The Arc New York. Conditional approval for a merger has been granted, Arc said. Officials said the result will be a four-county-wide organization. The new agency will use consolidated resources to ensure quality services to all people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) and their families from the GLOW region, Arc said.
âConditional approval was given by the Office for People with Developmental Disabilities and our parent organization, The Arc New York,â said Arc of Genesee Orleans Executive Director Donna Saskowski. âIt means that an initial review of the proposal was positive and the chapters should continue to pursue a final merger plan. This will take several months and more study of the full project will continue.â
